Does anyone have any info or feedback on the short silk chiffon bridesmaid dresses? How is the sizing? I can pick any of the styles-thinking about Lucienne or Sinclair.

I find all of J.Crew's dresses run big. I'm usually a 0 in shorts and a 26 on cords (25 in premium debim) and I always need a 00 in dresses, and even then they are big.

The Gabby top looks good with plain old jeans and a good top to have to tuck into pencil skirts. You can also wear it with your cabernet colored cords, tucked in, with a belt (maybe navy - black) You can also pair it with the lilac cord.

For the tweed skirt, I would pair it up with colored shirts like the blythe blouse or the perfect fit shirts (tucked in) and putting a statement necklace over the collar. Or layering a tippi sweater over the shirt in neutral colors, preferably darker colors like navy to really make that orange stand out.

I haven't had the best of luck with the sequined tops so I tend to just wear them with jeans or tucked into skirts, but I have seen a lot of them being used as vests over collared shirts. Shirt tucked into jeans and the top hanging loose.

Thank you! I have bought so much stuff the last two days I think I may have a problem, lol. I just really discovered Jcrew and now am addicted.

would you buy the shoes the model is wearing? What these similar ones be ok or is the blue too navy?

THanks so much!

I would just go with plain navy ones. I mean if you feel comfortable to wear that much print together it's fine, but I think you would get much more use out of solid ones.

i like pattern mixing, but that may be a bit too much - if you like the etta, i'd opt for the solid colour, or leopard.

does anyone have the hacking jacket from this year? I like the light purple and the mint color, but not sure how often i would really wear it? (lifestyle - I'm 25, law student, so not working at the moment) Thanks!

they're both great choices - i think jackets are super versatile. if you think of them as a thicker cardigan, or a light coat. sky's the limit.

The sale totally got me! Purchased the Blythe heart print blouse (saw it first on NAP and thought it was a great affordable alternative to a similar Equipment blouse) and this cute striped pink & orange top that was on final sale. I almost bought it the last time they had a coupon code and thought it was gone - I couldn't get the colour combo out of my mind. I feel a little bad for impulse buying but at least I got a decent deal and free shipping. I almost got a pair of cute cashmere heart print socks but I remembered the quality of their cashmere isn't great.

I am really happy to say that the only thing I currently want from J. Crew right now is the Houndstooth School Boy Blazer. I was waiting for it to go on sale, but it is already sold out on the website. I might use the new promo to buy that if it is still left at my store.

i hope you can find one!!

total and absolute girl crush on the sequin dot top! FYI it runs true to size to kind of small. i'm wearing my regular top size (xs) here. if you want it not too fitted, i'd recommend going up a size.

So instead of the glittery tweed ones, do you mean buy these:

Or do you think I should get some non tweed/non print blue heels?

Thanks!!

No, just a solid navy pump.

You can even do black with the skirt. Doesn't matter if it's patent/suede/leather. I just think solid will look better than the tweed ones. Plus I'm sure you already have some in your closet! :D
